Brad Hart
Entrepreneur. Inventor. Builder.
Building the tools, companies, and communities that make abundance practical—from AI-powered business systems to materials science breakthroughs to boots-on-the-ground philanthropy.
What We're Building
A connected ecosystem of companies, communities, and research—all pointed at the same mission: practical abundance for the most people possible.
Optimus OS
The AI-powered operating system for entrepreneurs. One window, one conversation, your entire business automated. No more 47 browser tabs. Currently in private beta with our mastermind community.
Build A Mastermind
The playbook for building high-ticket mastermind communities. Based on 20+ years, 50+ masterminds, and two bestselling books. We've helped thousands of coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs launch and scale their own.
AIMS Research
AI Materials Science. Our research lab has filed 36 patents and published 32 papers across 23 scientific domains in 2026—spanning vacuum energy harvesting, topological quantum computing, self-healing concrete, PFAS water purification, solid-state batteries, radiation shielding, and more. We use AI to accelerate materials discovery for energy, computing, and sustainability.
Make More Marbles Foundation
Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We light the FUSE—Food, Utilities, Shelter, and Education for the most people possible. Over $1M raised for organizations including Feeding America, Habitat for Humanity, and microfinance through Kiva. Brad is in the top 1% of global lenders. House builds in Baja Mexico. Charity roasts. Real impact, real accountability.
AIMS — AI Materials Science
We use artificial intelligence to discover new materials for energy, computing, and sustainability. Here’s what we’ve filed and published in 2026.
Most people know us for business and community. What fewer people know is that we’re also running a serious research program. Using AI-driven computational methods—our AIMS methodology—we’ve identified novel material compositions across 23 scientific domains, from quantum computing and vacuum energy to clean water, safer buildings, and non-toxic consumer products.

Patent Claims
Quantum & Energy
Vacuum Energy Harvesting
Electricity from quantum vacuum fluctuations via angstrom-scale asymmetric Casimir cavities, plus coherent Casimir-Bragg radiation sources. (Patents 1–3, 6, 13)
Vacuum Mode Engineering
Standing-wave cavities, hemispherical Bragg resonators, steerable cavity arrays, and switchable waveguides for directional vacuum mode suppression. (Patents 22–26)
Topological Quantum Computing
Fault-tolerant quantum computation using Bi, Tl, and Pb chains in zeolite channels hosting Majorana zero modes. No external magnets required. (Patents 8–10, 16–18, 21)
Next-Gen Solar & Optics
Bismuth-based OPV chromophores tuned to Shockley-Queisser optimum, and thermally switchable negative-index metamaterials. (Patents 7, 11, 20)
Zeolite-Confined Superconductors
Industrial zeolite crystals as scaffolding for superconducting materials, with chemical pressure multiplication for hydride stabilization. (Patents 4–5, 18)
Clean Energy Catalysis
Binary alloy catalysts for hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction, discovered through AI-augmented d-band center screening. (Patent 12)
Sustainability & Human Safety
PFAS Water Purification
Dual-mechanism thin-film nanocomposite membranes that remove forever chemicals from drinking water. (Patent 28)
Solid-State Batteries
Halide-polymer-plasticizer graded composite electrolytes for safer, higher-density energy storage. (Patent 29)
Carbon-Negative Building Materials
Biochar-infused concrete that sequesters carbon while meeting structural requirements, plus self-healing formulations inspired by Roman pozzolanic chemistry. (Patents 15, 31–32)
Non-Toxic Fire Retardants
Bio-intumescent formulations using phytic acid and chitosan, replacing toxic halogenated flame retardants. (Patents 34–35)
Biopolymer Wound Dressings
Chitosan-silk-silver nanoparticle triple-action dressings for faster healing with built-in antimicrobial protection. (Patent 36)
Biodegradable Polymers
Chitin/cellulose/PHA composites with multi-enzyme triggered degradation—replacing petroleum-based plastics. (Patent 19)
Radiation Shielding
Bismuth oxide/silicone composites that replace toxic lead shielding in medical and industrial applications. (Patent 33)
Thermal Insulation
MOF-aerogel composites that outperform conventional insulation for building envelopes. (Patent 30)
Non-Toxic Consumer Products
Safer cleaning products, personal care formulations, edible food coatings, biomimetic adhesives, and active outdoor sunscreen—all computationally screened for safety and efficacy. (Patent 27)
The AIMS Methodology
Every discovery above was made using the same engine: AI-driven constraint-satisfaction screening. We define the problem as a set of physical, chemical, and economic constraints—then let AI search the solution space exhaustively. The methodology itself is patented (Patent 14) and described in Paper 15. It’s how a small team produces research output that rivals institutional labs.
All research is computational with clear experimental pathways. Browse the published work on Zenodo. We’re seeking institutional research partners—universities, national laboratories, and corporate R&D teams—to advance these discoveries from computation to experimental validation.
